NACK That's wrong; qemu_madvise can end up going through posix_madvise and using POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED, it has different semantics to the madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) and we need the semantics of madvise - i.e. it's guaranteed to throw away the pages, where as posix_madvise *may* throw away the pages if the kernel feels like it.
